Domesticity

So.........needless to say, things have been busy. Lots of different stuff has been going on and not surprisingly, I have been able to keep my head above water.

Whew.

In the meantime, as I am learning and coming into my adulthood, there are a lot of things that I am learning. I wish the world were a lot more simpler, but it just isn't.

My girls are good. They are busy doing whatever little kids find to keep them busy, particularly making messes.

Today I am on a semi-cleaning spree. That's right. I started to tackle the....dun dun dun....BATHROOM!

I pulled out the scrubber bubbles and I'm hacking away at it.

I made some calls earlier this week and as it all happens to be, I most likely will not be getting into Kent for this Spring semester. However, I did sign up for some classes at Tri-C in the meantime so I can keep myself occupied and keep the ball rolling. I also don't want to screw up my insurance and other stuff. But also, atleast this way I will stay busy and I will keep learning and I have one class a week on Wednesday nights so that will allow me to get out of the house and have an intellectual challenge of some sort.

I am taking, film appreciation, anthropology, some political science class and nutrition. Nothing is more than just basic starter classes, well, except the poli sci class, but the professor that is going to be teaching that, I have had in the past and it is very very interesting and I'm looking forward to it immensely.

Mark starts school next week too!!!! Eeeeks! I think I'm more nervous and excited abou it all than he is. Poor guy will have to be getting up and heading out of here 8am on Monday morning so that he can become acquainted with the lovely Tri-C campus and find his classes. But now he will start to get an idea of what I have been doing for the past couple of years.

Going to school is as much work as work is, and actually, sometimes I think that it is more work to go to school, because at actual work, rarely does it follow you home and require your time and effort when you are "off the clock".

But it will be good.

I've started going to a bunch of different meetings. Dr. meetings and support meetings and it is all directly correlational to what is going on in my life (which I will not post on here, because it is none of the internet world's business) but I will say, everything seems to be quite helpful thus far. It's a good feeling and lately I really feel like I'm maturing a bit more into an adult.

Which is kind of scary.

But today we are going to be doing some visiting with a friend whom I haven't seen in awhile, which will be lovely. I cleaned and vacuumed my living room and I'm piecing the rest of the house together, but since she has two young children herself, I know she won't care. She's in the same boat I am.

I don't know, I haven't really had any "official" company lately so I haven't cleaned my house up to "company standards" and why should I? The only people who come over already know what it is like and for the most part, their houses are just as messy. And when I mean messy, I don't know, I do things everyday. I really do. But no matter how much you are able to get done, there is always something else waiting to be done next. There will always be more dishes to wash tomorrow and more laundry to wash and fold and wear and collect and whatnot.

But I hear a baby crying, so I must get back to this domesticity.
